Vowing to combat global anti-Semitism by every means at his
disposal, veteran Jewish activist Gregg Rickman was recently sworn
in by Condoleezza Rice as head of the State Department's office of
global anti-Semitism. Jewish activists view Rickman's appointment as
a victory against a U.S. State Department which had protested
establishment of yet another Jewish special interest agency. Several
years ago the State Department claimed it already adequately
monitored global human rights abuses and promoted Holocaust
remembrance. Yet Jewish lobbyists persuaded Congress 18 months ago
to create a special federal agency dedicated solely to
silencing "virulent criticism" of Israel and matters Jewish or
questioning the six million figure of alleged Holocaust victims.

UNITING SYNAGOGUE WITH STATE DEPARTMENT

Rickman's appointment, as a veteran protagonist of all things
Jewish, makes it clear that the office of global anti-Semitism will
not be bipartisan. Rather, as I have warned since its inception, it
is merely a front for ADL/B'nai B'rith's anti-Christian hate laws
agenda -- a foundation upon which to federalize and internationalize
persecution of Christians.

Are you still unfamiliar with this new thought crimes bureaucracy in
our midst? Are you aware of its many perverse definitions of anti-
Semitism? Here is the article I published last summer on this
subject. It answers many questions yet poses many more concerning
the "Office to Monitor and Control Anti-Semitism," mandated as H.R.
4230 by Congress.

THE REAL MOTIVE BEHIND THE "DEPARTMENT OF GLOBAL ANTI-SEMITISM"
By Rev. Ted Pike

On October 16, 2004 President Bush signed into law the Global Anti-
Semitism Review Act. It establishes a special department within the
U.S. State Department to monitor global anti-Semitism, reporting
annually to Congress.

This is more "Hate Crimes" legislation, orchestrated by the
international Jewish religious, educational, and fraternal
organization, B'nai B'rith, and its Anti-Defamation League. The
new "Department of Global Anti-Semitism" is designed to make critics
of Israel not only into "anti-Semites" but ultimately into "domestic
terrorists."

But first, what is anti-Semitism? Simple: It is the racist belief
that Jews, because of heredity, are evil, greedy, corrupting,
subversive, degenerate, etc. Hitler believed this. So do the KKK and
certain "Christian identity" and white supremacist groups.

Such dehumanization of Jews is evil, un-Christian, un-American.

On the other hand, if the actions of individual Jews, Jewish
institutions, Jewish religious or secular leaders, or the nation
Israel have been evil, then vehement criticism is not anti-Semitic.
It is courageous and laudable. Certainly, the Biblical prophets,
including Christ, engaged in vitriolic criticism of the sinful
nation Israel and its false leaders. No one considers them anti-
Semitic.

TWISTED DEFINITIONS OF "ANTI-SEMITISM"

However, in its "Report on Global Anti-Semitism" and "Global Anti-
Semitism Report," the U.S. State Department ignores the above
perspectives. Here is a list of beliefs or activities the U.S.
government now considers anti-Semitic:

1.. Any assertion "that the Jewish community controls government,
the media, international business and the financial world" is anti-
Semitic.

2.. "Strong anti-Israel sentiment" is anti-Semitic.

3.. "Virulent criticism" of Israel's leaders, past or present, is
anti-Semitic. According to the State Department, anti-Semitism
occurs when a swastika is portrayed in a cartoon decrying the
behavior of a past or present Zionist leader. Thus, a cartoon that
includes a swastika to criticize Ariel Sharon's brutal 2002 invasion
of the West Bank, raining "hell-fire" missiles on hapless
Palestinian men, women and children, is anti-Semitic. Similarly,
when the word "Zionazi" is used to describe Sharon's saturation
bombing in Lebanon in 1982 (killing 17,500 innocent refugees), it is
also "anti-Semitic."

4.. Criticism of the Jewish religion or its religious leaders or
literature (especially the Talmud and Kabbalah) is anti-Semitic.

5.. Criticism of the U.S. government and Congress for being under
undue influence by the Jewish-Zionist community (including AIPAC) is
anti-Semitic.

6.. Criticism of the Jewish-Zionist community for promoting
globalism (the "New World Order") is anti-Semitic.

7.. Blaming Jewish leaders and their followers for inciting the
Roman crucifixion of Christ is anti-Semitic.

10.. Asserting that there exists a "Zionist Conspiracy" is anti-
Semitic.

11.. Claiming that Jews and their leaders created the Bolshevik
Revolution in Russia is anti-Semitic.

12.. Making "derogatory statements about Jewish persons" is anti-
Semitic.

13.. Saying Jews cannot re-inhabit Palestine as a nation, except in
obedience to God, is anti-Semitic.

14.. Alleging that Mossad was behind the 9/11 attack is anti-
Semitic.

ANTI-SEMITISM IS A "HATE CRIME"

In the Global Anti-Semitism Report, State Department spokespersons
Ambassador Edward O'Donnell and the head of the office of global
anti-Semitism, Ambassador Michael B. Kozak, defend the State
Department's definitions. O'Donnell's statement that he wants
to "end all anti-Semitism and other hate crimes" reveals that he
considers anti-Semitism a hate crime. Presumably, he would like such
a "crime" to be punished.

These State Department reports repeatedly equate "strong, anti-
Israel sentiment" and criticism of matters Jewish with "hate." They
give no recognition to the possibility that such criticism might be
sincerely motivated not by hate but by moral indignation or even
love for the Jewish people.

The Report on Global Anti-Semitism repeatedly calls for passage,
both nationally and internationally, of "hate crime" legislation.
These laws, the brainchild of B'nai B'rith/ADL, also have as their
ultimate goal making it a "hate crime" to criticize Jews, matters
Jewish, or the state of Israel.

The Report on Global Anti-Semitism reeks with B'nai B'rith/ADL
logic, phraseology, and evidence of their incredible worldwide
organizational and statistic-gathering capacities. It contains
thirty-three pages of minute documentation of "anti-Semitic
incidents" in fifty-eight countries of the world, documentation
which only B'nai B'rith/ADL, with its offices in more than fifty
countries, could compile or even be that vitally interested in.
Without a doubt, as with hate laws, this Global Anti-Semitism Review
Act is their creation.

CRITICISM-FREE ZONE FOR JEWS

Thus, the Department of Anti-Semitism, applauded and advised by
B'nai B'rith/ADL, is working to create a worldwide "criticism-free
zone" for Jews in the "New World Order" that is coming. This report
ignores whether criticisms of matters Jewish are true. What must be
defended are the sensitivities of the Jewish people! Consequently,
relating such unflattering realities as the anti-Christian, anti-
Gentile contents of the Talmud and Kabbalah, Jewish origins of
bolshevism, Jewish dominance of Hollywood and the media, Jewish
control of Congress through AIPAC, Zionist atrocities and
abrasiveness in the Middle East is anti-Semitic. It is "hate." It
does not matter that such facts can be easily and extensively
documented, often from impeccable Jewish sources such as the
Encyclopedia Judaica.

All such anti-Semitism, this report says, is a "scourge,"
an "intolerable burden," which "for an increasingly interdependent
world must be ended."

On the other hand, according to the U.S. State Department, there
does exist some possibility that "objective criticism" of Israel and
its leaders can be tolerated - that is, just as long as such
criticism does not "cross the line" and become "strong anti-Israel
sentiment" and "virulent." Such criticism should not "demonize"
Jews, Jewish religious or political leaders, or the state of Israel.

However, what may be considered "virulence" or "demonization" by
Zionists may be seen as nothing more than salty truth-telling by
critics of Israel. Hypocritically, the State Department itself is
not above "demonizing" strong critics of Israel in the
most "virulent" terms as a "plague" and "scourge" on mankind!

TURNING "ANTI-SEMITISM" INTO "DOMESTIC TERRORISM"

The State Department's twisted definition of anti-Semitism provides
exponential opportunities to persecute Bible-believing Christians,
anti-war activists, Moslems, as well as publishers and broadcasters
in the years ahead. In fact, by turning "strong" criticism of the
American/Zionist coalition into "anti-Semitism and other hate
crimes," the State Department opens the door to eventual
characterization of those who criticize Israel as not only anti-
Semites but also as "domestic terrorists."

Here's how it can be done:

Today, those who raise funds in America to support America's and
Israel's terrorist enemies are arrested as "domestic terrorists."
But what if articulate Americans provided something else,
potentially even more valuable to Israel's enemies: "strong
criticism" of Israel? Such could weaken Israel morally in the sight
of the world, giving justification to the claims of her terrorist
enemies. Should they also be punished?

As the Second World War was beginning in 1939, Charles Lindberg was
publicly critical of international Jews for inveigling America into
a war to destroy Hitler. Lindberg believed that Hitler should be
allowed to do what he wanted to do most, move east and
destroy "Jewish Communism" in Russia.

In 1944, 30 Americans, who agreed with Lindberg, were arrested for
the crime of "sedition," weakening America's resolve in the fight
against fascism. Later investigation under the Freedom of
Information Act revealed that the ADL, attempting to equate
criticism of international Jews with Nazism, had entirely created
the FBI case.

Records revealed that the ADL was "only warming up" by pursuing
sedition convictions against 30 innocent Americans. Their ultimate
ambition was to imprison prominent critics of evil Jewish
leadership, especially Charles Lindberg. Fortunately, ADL's attempt
to transform 30 critics of international Jews into "Nazis" failed
when the judge died and the case was dissolved.

Today, America and Israel are allies in the "war on terror."
Tomorrow, especially if the war on terror intensifies and America
and Israel cooperate even more closely, criticism of America's ally
in the war on terrorism may be construed as "aiding and abetting the
enemy." Such "strong criticism" or anti-Semitism may be seen as not
only weakening Israel, but America itself.

Turning millions of Americans into anti-Semites for criticizing
Israel is thus a transition toward ADL's ultimate goal: making such
persons "enemies of the war on terror," i.e., "domestic terrorists."

They then can be prosecuted under Homeland Security laws.

CANADA: ALREADY MAKING "ANTI-SEMITES" INTO "DOMESTIC TERRORISTS"

In Canada, we are seeing exactly this happen. Ernst Zundel is a
Holocaust revisionist who doubts that a full six million Jews were
deliberately murdered by the Nazis, largely by gassing. He asserts
that untold numbers of Jews in German internment camps, especially
in the last years of the war, died not in gas chambers, but as a
result of massive, well-documented typhus epidemics, which also
killed countless Poles, Gypsies, Russians, etc. Yet in Canada,
thanks to ADL/B'nai B'rith, it is a "hate crime" to lesson to any
degree the six million figure of Holocaust dead, or that most of
them died in gas chambers. Such diminishment is anti-Semitism,
a "hate crime" punishable by harsh fines and imprisonment. Several
years ago Zundel was deported from his home in Tennessee back to
Canada to spend more than two years in solitary confinement in a
Canadian prison. He was then deported back to his native Germany
where he remains in prison.

Under what charge have Canadian authorities been holding him?

You guessed it. He is a "terrorist threat!"

So it will be for millions of Americans tomorrow if ADL/B'nai B'rith
have their way and the Department of Anti-Semitism's twisted
definitions of anti-Semitism are allowed to stand.

The Department of Global Anti-Semitism is informing the world who
the "domestic terrorists" of tomorrow will be.
